For AL-KO overrun assemblies, the two fixing holes are on the side (horizontal). The forward fixing hole on the AKS 3004 is slotted to accommodate slight variations in distance between the two fixing holes, found on different types of overrun assemblies. The fixing holes for non AL-KO overrun assemblies can be distinguished by having the front fixing hole on the side and the rear fixing hole on the top of the overrun shaft.

The maximum distance between the centre of the towball and top of the overrun assembly, or fairing if fitted, is 50mm (C) to ensure both coupling handle and stabiliser handle do not foul on operation.

Overrun AssemblyOne version of the AKS 3004 has been introduced
to fit most overrun assemblies❋✝ up to 3000 kg(AL-KO and non AL-KO assemblies). For AL-KOoverrun assemblies, the two fixing holes are on theside (horizontal). The forward fixing hole on the AKS3004 is slotted to accommodate slight variations in distance between the two fixing holes, found on different types of overrun assemblies. The fixingholes for non AL-KO overrun assemblies can be distinguished by having the front fixing hole on theside and the rear fixing hole on the top of theoverrun shaft.
The clearance for the stabiliser handle must be atleast 340mm (B) plus the stroke movement 85mm /100mm (D), which equals a total of 440mm whenused in conjunction with an AL-KO overrun assembly.The maximum distance between the centre of thetowball and top of the overrun assembly, or fairing iffitted, is 50mm (C) to ensure both coupling handleand stabiliser handle do not foul on operation.Maintain the same clearances for other manufacturers’ overrun assemblies.

Vehicle TechnologyOperating Instructions
AKS 3004 Security Device (Available Separately Pt No. 1285810)
If the green indicator is visible then you know you have correctly coupledyour AKS to your towing vehicle.
Safety Indicator
Fitting AL-KO Safety Ball Removal
Using the coupling handle, put the AKS on to the towball. Push the blackhandle down and check the green indicator button is showing.
Coupling Instructions
Press the red stabilising lever down. TheAKS is now ready for the road.
Wear of the coupling ball and mechanism can easily be monitored.If the green section is visible (whencoupled to your towball) then thefront/rear friction pads, coupling balland mechanism are in order.If the red lower section obscures thegreen section then you need to checkthese parts immediately.
1. Stabiliser handle must be in theraised position.
2. Put AL-KO Security Device onto theStabiliser.
3. Insert key, press & turn lock cylinderto the right after a ‘click’, turn key toleft. Remove key & swing dust capover lock to protect against dirt.
4. Push stabilising handle down.
1. Insert key and turn right to open.Cylinder will come out.
2. Remove AL-KO Security Deviceand store safely.
Can be inserted into Stabiliser, whenused in conjunction with securitydevice. Part No. 641255
Friction Pad Wear ControlLeft/Right
Friction Pads are in good order
Friction Pads are worn out & need replacing
AL-KO chassis technology for first class road safety & ride comfort
Friction Pads Replacement
Unscrew the 2 screwswhich are under the softdock by using the specialtorx tool (UK boxed version only)
Remove screw fromback plate
Remove friction padsand replace. For detailedinstructions, please referto AKS handbook
The New AKS 3004 effectively suppresses any snaking movements of the caravan/trailer by the use of four special friction pads which surround the towball.These pads are manufactured from a low-wear material which has excellent frictioncharacteristics ensuring an optimum damping moment is created.
Your journey with the AKS 3004 will be smooth & relaxed as the car and caravan can be quickly stabilised in an emergency situation (ie sudden cross winds or overtaking HGVs).
